IMPROVEMENT IN R015:Ei-I3IE/QSLRB'` .ATTACHMENT IN MACHINES FOR STEAMCULTURE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent; and making part of thesame.

To ZL whom 'it 'may concern Be it known that I, MAX EYTH, of the city,county, and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Steam-Flows; and I do hereby declare the 'pl'lowingto bea full, clear, and exact description thereof which will enable thoseskilled in the art to make and, use the same, reference being hadto theaccompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, in' whichdrawing- Figure 1 represents an end view of thisI invention. Figure 2 isa side elevation thereof. Figure 3 is a top view thereof.

Similar -letters indicate corresponding paits.

This invention relates to steam-plows of that class in which the plow isdrawn from one end of the field to the other by wire ropes attached toany 'suitable motive-power.

h Heretoi'ore an apparatus of this class could not be used forcultivating the growing crops Ofcom, cotton, sugar, or other plants,because-the outstrippers or arms carrying the slack rope are so low downto the ground (being mere extensions `of the axles) that the same, insweeping over the field, from one row tothe other, at

a short distance above the ground, would have broken and that thesteam-plow can be nsed'for cultivating as well as for breaking land.

A represents a plow or cultivator, which is drawn from one end of thefield to the other by a rope, B, and

two traction-engines, G, situated 'at the opposite ends of the iield, asindicated in red outlines in iig. 3 of the drawing. v

From vthe side of the cultivator extend two arms,a a', curved upward tosuch a height above the ground that the same will clear the growingplants, and extend over the tops thereof, as indicated in iig. l.'

If the implement is drawn across the field, inthedirection of the arrowmarked near itin iig. 3, I hitch the hind or slack rope to the arm c',and as the imple ment moves along between two rows, said slack rope isdeposited between the succeeding rows.

ment of an outstripper on the steam-plow, such device being described inthe English patent, 11,304, dated July 23,1846; but v What I claim asnew, and desire t0 secure by Letters Patent, is Y Curving' the armsoroutstrippers a a upward, lso that the same will 'clear the growingcrops, as. herein shown and described. l

MAX EYTH.
